[0044] Example 9 A ternary cathode material NCM622, carbon black, and polyvinylidene fluoride were uniformly mixed in a mass ratio of 8:1:1 and coated on an aluminum foil current collector to form the battery's cathode. Graphite was used as the anode, and the lithium-containing material from Example 7 was coated on a single-layer polyethylene film to form the diaphragm. A 1 M LiClO solution in ethyl acetate was used as the electrolyte. The battery was assembled in an argon-filled glove box.

[0045] (Comparative Example) A ternary cathode material NCM622, carbon black, and polyvinylidene fluoride were uniformly mixed in a mass ratio of 8:1:1 and coated on an aluminum foil current collector to form the battery's cathode. Graphite was used as the anode, a single-layer polyethylene film as the diaphragm, and a 1 M LiClO4 solution in ethyl acetate as the electrolyte. The battery was assembled into a button cell in an argon-filled glove box.

[0046] In the battery performance test, the button batteries manufactured in Examples 1 to 9 and Comparative Example were tested to measure the discharge capacity at different rates of 1 C to 10 C, the self-discharge performance K value after 7 and 15 days of storage, and the temperature rise at the center of the battery surface when discharged at different rates within a charge-discharge voltage window of 1 V to 2.5 V. At the same time, the specific capacity was also tested for the first time and after 100 charge-discharge cycles. The test results are shown in Table 1.

[0047] [Table 1]

[0048] Based on the values ​​in Table 1, the capacity retention rates at 5C / 1C, 10C / 1C and 100 cycles were calculated and are shown in Table 2 below.

[0049] [Table 2]

[0050] As can be seen from the data, the 5C / 1C rate characteristics and 10C / 1C rate characteristics of Examples 1 to 9 are both higher than those of the Comparative Example, and the capacity retention rate after 100 cycles is also significantly higher than that of the Comparative Example. When discharged at different rates, the temperature rise increases as the discharge rate increases, and at the same rate, the temperature rise of the Comparative Example is higher than that of Examples 1 to 9. Furthermore, when the storage time is the same, the self-discharge performance K values ​​of the Examples are significantly smaller than that of the Comparative Example.

[0051] As can be seen from the data in Table 1, the specific capacity and first cycle performance of the button batteries manufactured by adding the lithium-containing material in Examples 1 to 9 of the present application are significantly better than those of the comparative examples. It is believed that the addition of the lithium-containing material increases the number of lithium ions during charging and discharging, providing sufficient lithium ions for the formation of an SEI film, and thus improving the first cycle performance and specific capacity.

[0052] During the discharge process of a lithium-ion battery, lithium flakes are dissolved into lithium ions, and during the charge process, the lithium ions are reduced to metallic lithium. During this reduction process, due to thermodynamic reasons, lithium precipitates unevenly, resulting in the formation of lithium dendrites. Previous research has shown that, on the one hand, lithium dendrites can become "dead lithium," resulting in irreversible capacity loss and affecting discharge efficiency. On the other hand, lithium dendrites can also pose serious safety risks, such as diaphragm perforation, short circuiting, and battery explosion. As can be seen from the data in Tables 1 and 2, regardless of whether the lithium-containing material was added to the positive electrode, negative electrode, or diaphragm, the button batteries manufactured with the lithium-containing material had significantly higher rate discharge capacities than the comparative example, and the capacity retention after 100 cycles was also relatively high, at over 85%. In the comparative example, the capacity retention after the same number of discharge cycles was relatively low, at less than 75%, compared to batteries manufactured without the lithium-containing material. Based on the test data, a uniform and stable solid-liquid interface is formed between the electrode material prepared by adding the lithium-containing material of the present invention as an additive and the electrolyte, inducing uniform deposition of metallic lithium. This interface is presumably involved in the reduction of lithium in the lithium-containing material. This suppresses the formation of lithium dendrites and reduces the occurrence of "dead lithium," thereby reducing battery capacity loss and ultimately achieving a high battery rate discharge capacity. Furthermore, based on the temperature rise data at the center of the battery surface measured during discharge at different rates in Table 1, the temperature rise of the battery containing the lithium-containing material of the present invention was more than half that of the comparative battery at the same rate. The reduced operating temperature significantly improved battery safety and avoided high-temperature hazards.

[0053] Furthermore, the quality of the wetting between the electrolyte and the positive electrode, negative electrode, and diaphragm affects the lithium ion migration between the positive and negative electrodes and the battery's interfacial resistance, which in turn affects the battery's discharge rate, discharge capacity, and operating voltage. Therefore, good wetting of electrode materials is beneficial for improving battery performance. The diaphragms prepared in Example 6 and Comparative Example were tested. The negative electrode prepared in Example 5 by blending graphite and a lithium-containing material and the graphite negative electrode in Comparative Example were tested. The positive electrode prepared in Example 4 by blending the ternary cathode material NCM622, carbon black, polyvinylidene fluoride, and a lithium-containing material and the positive electrode without the lithium-containing material in Comparative Example were tested. Figure 2 shows the principle of contact angle measurement. In this example, the same electrolyte solution is dropped onto a diaphragm, a positive electrode, a negative electrode manufactured by adding a lithium-containing material, and a diaphragm, a positive electrode, and a negative electrode manufactured by not adding a lithium-containing material, and the contact angles between the electrolyte solution and the diaphragm, the positive electrode, and the negative electrode are measured using a contact angle measuring device, and the effects of adding a lithium-containing material on the wettability of the battery material are compared.

[0054] [Table 3]

[0055] By comparing the magnitude of the measured contact angles, it was found that the electrode pieces or diaphragms prepared with the addition of lithium-containing materials had smaller contact angles with the electrolyte, and the smaller the contact angle, the better the wettability of the material. Test results showed that the addition of lithium-containing materials to the same prepared electrolyte improved the wettability of the material. Therefore, the lithium-containing materials have good wettability.

[0056] In order to detect the influence of lithium-containing material on the resistivity of positive electrode pieces and negative electrode pieces, obtain the positive electrode pieces in Example 4 and the negative electrode pieces in Example 5, respectively, and use a tester to measure the resistivity of the positive electrode pieces and negative electrode pieces in Comparative Example, and the results are shown in Table 4.

[0057] [Table 4]

[0058] As can be seen from the measurement data in Table 4, the resistivity of the positive and negative electrodes prepared by adding lithium-containing materials is significantly lower than that of the positive and negative electrodes prepared by not adding lithium-containing materials in the comparative example. This may be because the lithium-containing materials have good lithium ion conductivity, which reduces the resistivity of the electrode pieces.

[0059] As described above, the lithium-containing material according to the present invention can be used as an additive in lithium batteries to improve the rate characteristics of the batteries, extend the service life and cycle characteristics of the lithium batteries, significantly improve the safety performance of the lithium batteries, and allow the batteries to maintain good energy density.

Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc. made within the spirit and principle of the present invention shall be included in the protection scope of the present invention.
